#Roro will probably remember that my main concern before accepting mod position (well, nomination first) was lack of support in dealing with luddites and alike
@M'vy this was why meta had their big swag bash - swag shop leftovers. You could request stuff, and if you had a good story you got swag. I got a hoodie :-)
